MICROSOFT PLATFORM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT
MS-PLATFORM SDK for short
start you search for it here>
http://www.msdn.microsoft.com
Win32lib docs will not tell you what you will need to do most of the stuff
it is currently capable of. I really suggest going about this the hard way
learn the SDK first. I never realized the potential until I did this.
Experiment with the couple demo's supplied by RDS for Euphoria
and grab a copy of Jacques Deschenes API wrappers to look at while
you read thru the SDK. Grab some books on Windows programming
I suggest Window programming annotative archives as a beginning
point the authors name is Herbert Schildt the book has code thats
written for C++ but, there is an example of a couple chapters on the
user contrib page written by me, Euman.
Of course, if you do this the hard way first, you wont need win32lib....:)
This info brought to you by someone who, like you, struggled hard at first.
As time passes you'll catch on as I have. I still stumble on parts of
th SDK but thats because either the documentation isnt real clear to me
or doesnt exist. In these cases I search the Web for examples and every so often
I
take a peak at Win32lib to see how those guys did it.
You may find that learning what a few of the Euphoria commands do.
c_func
c_proc
define_c_func
define_c_proc
call_back
allocate
allocate_string
free
poke
peek
poke4
peek4s
peek4u
just a small list but these are the main commands used to interact with the API.
This should take you a day or two to read and write some basic samples
to test them out.
